FAQs about Conference Venues in Glasgow

Why should I have my conference in Glasgow?

As a truly well-connected city, Glasgow’s conference venues are usually based within the centre, in close proximity to its extensive train network. Choose from one of the four main stations to arrive at, or come into Glasgow Central and take a short walk through lovely and historic streets to reach your destination. For international attendees, Glasgow Airport is only a short 15-20 minute ride to downtown. For anyone arriving by car, the centre is easily accessible from the M8 roadway. The ease of access in the city centre certainly makes these venues ideal for people travelling from both within Glasgow and from afar. 

How much does it cost to hire a conference venue in Glasgow?

Price-wise, conference venues typically tend to offer per person packages between £28 and £35 or hire fees that will cost anywhere between £225 to £1000. Minimum spend venues will cost you anywhere from £750-£1000. If you aren’t expecting too many guests, then per person deals may be better, as they take away the risk of losing money on a low-turnout conference. Alternatively, a straight hire fee for a large conference venue can make it easier and cheaper if you are concerned about per person spending with a larger volume of guests.
